Jonathan Swift - To Quilca, A Country-House in no very good RepairJonathan Swift - To Quilca, A Country-House in no very good Repair
Work rating: Low


  Let me thy Properties explain,   A rotten Cabin, dropping Rain;   Chimnies with Scorn rejecting Smoak;   Stools, Tables, Chairs, and Bed-steds broke:   Here Elements have lost their Vses,   Air ripens not, nor Earth produces:   In vain we make poor Sheelah toil,   Fire will not roast, nor Water boil.   Thro` all the Vallies, Hills, and Plains, The Goddess Want in Triumph reigns; And her chief Officers of State, Sloth, Dirt, and Theft around her wait.
